Dan’s career in community banking began at the age of 12 when he mowed grass for his local hometown community bank! He later applied for a position inside a bank and began his lending career in 1996. Combined with his ability to develop trust, build positive relationships and make new connections, Dan’s objective is to provide an exceptional experience for each customer. A Zig Ziglar quote Dan lives by is, “honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life – all areas of life,” which can be seen in his interactions with customers and colleagues.
Dan is highly involved in supporting his local community, having served in leadership positions in the local Lions Club, Community Development Authority, School Board, Rotary Club and Excellence in Education and Scholarship Fund. He continually seeks ways to develop new skills by actively contributing to industry associations including the Wisconsin Bankers Association, Independent Community Bankers of America and the Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage Partnership Finance Advisory Council. He earned his bachelor’s degree from UW-Eau Claire and is a graduate from the Graduate School of Banking.
When he’s not focused on serving customers and his community, Dan is a loving husband and devoted father of two boys. He enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, running and playing sports with his boys and dedicates time to officiate high school basketball. He is a serious Wisconsin Badgers fan and can be found cheering on the Packers during the season.
